The quadratic equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a positive discriminant. Thus, the expression has two distinct real roots (real and irrational roots).

<h3>How to determine the characteristics of the roots of a quadratic equation by discriminant</h3>

Herein we have a quadratic equation of the form a · x² + b · x + c = 0, whose discriminant is:

d = b² - 4 · a · c (1)

There are three possibilities:

d < 0 - conjugated complex roots.
d = 0 - equal real roots (real and rational root).
d > 0 - different real roots (real and irrational root).

If we know that a = 3, b = 7 and c = - 2, then the discriminant is:

d = 7² - 4 · (3) · (- 2)

d = 49 + 24

d = 73

The quadratic equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a positive discriminant. Thus, the expression has two distinct real roots (real and irrational roots).
